Dear Sir or Madam,
I have a beautiful semi-hollowbody DeArmond, serial number: s/n KC01045844. My questions are: how old and what model? Additionally, if you have an approximate value, that would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
- I have a DeArmond Starfire, serial number: s/n KC 9061149 Can anyone tell how to decode this? I'd like to know when it was made. It has 'made in Korea' stamped on the back of the head- the truss rod cover says Guild Starfire.
- A seven-digit serial number beginning with six, for example, indicates 1996; a seven-digit number beginning with seven denotes 1997; an eight-digit number beginning with 98 denotes 1998, etc. A “KC” prefix was introduced on Korean-made instruments in 1997, designating instrument made in Korea at the Cort factory.
- Buying guitars at a distance is always a risk, and especially with very vintage and very expensive archtops where there may be things the owner doesn't know about or may be hiding. In any case, these folks at Archtop are the experts who, when they take in a guitar on consignment, give it a thorough going over so you're assured the guitar won't.
May 24, 2016 -Just an aside, the tuners are amazingly solid and smooth.holds tune really well, the serial number dates it May, 2001, I am going to put a cream pick guard and knobs on it.that should help the ugly blue look a little. Also, it doesn't really show in the pictures but, the Mahogany is really very pretty. 2.0) The Fender serial number decoder currently supports all documented MIA, MIJ, MIM, MIK and MII formats with the exception of Custom Shop, Relic and Reissue instruments.Please note that fender serial numbers tend to overlap by at least a year, and thereby the date of your guitar.

Online parts manual. I cannot find any information on D'Armond guitars in Fjestad's Blue Book.
But all my research reveals that she was made in Korea in 2001, and is worth now approximately $500 American currency.
She's a beautiful guitar!!
